Act”)

 

Further to your recent request for information held by King’s College

the university.

 

Your request

 

We received your information request on 20^th April 2024 and have treated
it as a request for information made under section 1(1) of the Act.

 

You requested the following information:

1) How many students marginally failed the conditions of their offer (i.e.
by one grade or one point or more)?

2) Of those who marginally failed their entry conditions, how many were
given a place on the course and what grades did they achieve?

 

Our response

 1. How many students marginally failed the conditions of their offer
(i.e. by one grade or one point or more)?

 27

 

 2. Of those who marginally failed their entry conditions, how many were
given a place on the course and what grades did they achieve?

No students who dropped grades were accepted onto the course for 23/24.

 

The achieved grades of students who ‘marginally failed’ are in the table
below, where we have taken marginally failed to mean dropped one grade.
